Scientists at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute are leading the way in the fight against heart disease in women on several fronts.
Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute Executive Director Professor Jason Kovacic has been working with an international team of scientists, who have discovered there are vast differences between women and men in what causes disease of the blood vessels at a genetic level. The results of this study could transform the treatment of heart and vascular disease in women by potentially developing new sex-specific medical therapies, such as tailored treatments, unique to women and men.
Please join Professor Kovacic at the annual Women Against Heart Disease Lunch and learn more about life-saving research at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute. Your support may one day save your life or the life of a woman you love.
